Bro. Dennis and Mary came to serve in First Baptist Lolita in April 2007, trading in the dry heat of West Texas for the heat and humidity of the Gulf Coast. This is their first full-time ministry position after serving as a bivocational music minister about 15 years and a bivocational pastor for 4 years. They are excited to finally be able to devote all their time to the ministry.
Bro. Dennis served 15 years in the United States Air Force before receiving an Honorable Discharge following major back surgery. Under the VA’s Vocational Rehab Program he went back to school and earned a degree in Mass Communications from Angelo State University. He then spent the next ten years working in broadcast journalism at TV stations in San Angelo, Wichita Falls, Amarillo, and Odessa, Texas before moving to Lolita.
Mary earned her degree from Howard Payne University in 1979. She married Bro. Dennis the day she graduated knowing they would spend the rest of their lives serving our Lord in ministry. They raised two sons, John and David. John and his family live in San Angelo, TX where he works as the manager for AT&T Wireless. David is working toward a degree in Culinary Arts from Odessa College, Odessa, TX.
